New Book

Benny and I were childless at our almost local Borders Bookstore recently. We adore our kids, but it is really fun to shop without them sometimes.

I found the most beautiful book, The Green Mountain Spinnery Knitting Book. I was actually looking for something different, but this book drew me in. It is filled with rich heathery colors and beautiful photographs that make me want to knit each project.

But there's the rub. So many projects, so little time. It makes me wonder if other people buy "eye candy" books only to realize years later they've never knit any of the patterns?

Ooh...I love the bookstore without kids sometimes. Browsing at your own pace, in sections that interest you. I am knitting a Green Mtn. sweater right now. Two of the same actually...I think I want that book too.

To answer your question - YES! But I always seem to take something from them, even if I don't actually make the pattern. And it's such a pleasant surprise when you go back to them years later, like I am with some of my quilting books.
